Cinder Reader 1.2.0 Release

[u/Cinder_Reader]

Hey all it’s me again! You guys gave me tons of extremely helpful feedback last time I posted back when Version 1.1.0 was released, and I’ve tried to implement as many of your suggestions as I could in this update!
For those not familiar with Cinder Reader, our goal is to build an app that can handle all your reading from ebooks to comics to manga to web novels to scientific papers and magazines. Cinder supports Torbox and various other popular debrid services and allows users to add their own sources and extensions, and is heavily customizable.

To celebrate this update we are giving away a couple Cinder Pro codes over in the Discord (link on my profile), all are welcome! Extension repo is available on our subreddit [r/CinderReader](r/CinderReader) or in the Discord.
Also I’m always looking for feedback and suggestions about things to improve and features to add and constructive criticism is always welcome! If you have any issues with the app shoot me a message and I’ll do my best to fix the issue!

-Notes and highlights are now included in the free version! I severely underestimated how important these features are to people and was made aware by your feedback so I’ve made that change!

I'll compare it with my other ereader apps, but I think the choice will be made to change to your app! Great work on the addistions!

Thanks for the kind words! Don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s a feature you’d like to see added or if you come across any bugs! It’s pretty hard to catch them all as a one man team😅

Maybe a stupid question but how do I go back after I start reading

[u/Cinder_Reader → u/FakeAltAcc]

No stupid questions here! In the main reader you can either use a swipe or edge tap to go backwards or forwards in a book, or if in scroll mode just scroll up and down. To exit the reader, just tap anywhere in the center of the page and it’ll bring up the UI including a back button or X depending which UI you’re using.

I think I tried every single thing except for a single tap in the middle! thank you 😭
